The Lesson of Baby Steps Excerpt

Life is an endless cycle of transitions. Promotion or layoff. Wedding or widowhood. A new birth or an empty nest. Health challenges or success overload. We are all, always in some stage of transition. My client, Lily, did an excellent job of describing one of the challenges for people in transition, “They not only don't see an open door, they often can’t see any door at all.”

For many people, the way through transition is one baby step at a time. When adults are willing to take baby steps to improve their lives, they are always on journeys of great courage and importance, and, like "new walkers," they experience the world at a heightened level of awareness—using all of their senses to take in and integrate new ideas.

"I'd worked with counselors, psychiatrists and psychologists over the years," Lily said, "but found Deborah's approach to be unique. Her great advantage is the ability to bring together a strong professional background, a deeply spiritual perspective and a personal character that grew out of overcoming her own challenges and leveraging her life experiences to support others on their journeys to wholeness."

Over time, she used her growing self-awareness to identify dreams and goals that were no longer black and white but filled with color and a new energy. "I knew that energy didn’t come from Deborah; it came from within me," Lily said. "Working with her helped me look at my life in new ways that released my own energy and made it sing."

“Deborah demonstrates that curiosity, compassion and gratitude can be powerful transformative attitudes we extend to the world around us when we start by viewing ourselves with these same grace-based convictions.”

When you fall in love with yourself,everything else finally falls into place,with beauty, power, and grace.When you release the illusion of fearand embrace the truth of love,you will know in each momentwho you are and Whose you are.That, my dear friends,is more than enough. It is everything.―Deborah Jane Wells
